Hing Powder is also known as Asaofietida Powder, and is an extremely potent spice that should be used sparingly in dishes. It is made from the resinous gum from the roots of several giant fennel trees in India, Iran and Afghanistan.

Asafoetida is a oniony, truffle-like flavor that rounds out flavors of curry dishes. It is excellent with lentil and bean dishes and also great with potato and chickpea dishes.

Though it is used in tiny portions in most Indian dishes, its flavor is an important element of dishes that should not be overlooked.

Ingredients: Wheat flour, edible gum, corn oil, asafoetida.
